Fuselage shouldn't have worse cargo capacity than cockpits

[Bromista]

A fuselage weighs 1 and provides 10 cargo capacity. And it looks like both weight and cargo capacity stats of fuselage scale with its volume, so a scaled up fuselage that weighs 2 will provide 20 capacity.

In contrast, the most weight efficient cockpit weighs 0.5 and provides THIRTY cargo capacity. This is 6x more capacity per weight compared to fuselage.

This leads to some bizarre designs if you're trying to build optimally. Like for example, your plane will have better cargo capacity and weigh less if you put a second, backwards facing cockpit on the rear end instead of using fuselage.

One thing that would incentivize less cursed designs, and also make more sense from a physics perspective, is for fuselage cargo capacity to still scale with volume, but for its weight to scale with its outer *surface area*. I.e. only the walls count towards weight, not the empty interior.
